As I watched the episodes last season I couldn’t help but think that some of them were just dragging along in terms of plot and action. So far this season the episodes ain’t dragging at all. Thus far the show seems to be firing on all cylinders and this week’s episode was no exception.
Jessica Camacho, who appeared in the “Blood and Fear” episode, has landed a spot as a series regular. You’ll remember that Sophie stole the Shard of Anubis from Randall Martin and left him cuffed to a shower railing. Jenny’s increased visibility, in what I like to think of as an in-show spinoff, The Jenny & Joe Show, requires additional characters so that we can see Jenny in the artifact-hunting mode we’d only heard about.
Ichabod plants himself on the sofa watching video games (which he picked up from Joe Corbin, by the way) consuming salty carbs and sugary carbonated drinks. He is pretty close to being American. Final test: Does Ichabod get irrationally angry about having to press 1 for English?
The long, national nightmare is over: Alex and Ryan finally did it again with some undercover role-playing. Very steamy. The suite looked more comfortable than the reverse-cowgirl in the car.
This week on AHS: Hotel, memories of Holden push Alex to a breaking point and a rival of the Countess sets her sights on a bitter Donovan. Special Contributor Tracey M. takes you inside the episode with this recap.
Cookie Lyon took the rap for Lucious and spent 17 years in prison while he used the money from their drug operation to become a music mogul. He didn’t visit her, didn’t give her any credit for Empire’s success and didn’t even put some money in her commissary account so she could afford a Kit-Kat bar or some shea butter. Nobody wants to be peckish and ashy.
Miss Shonda doesn’t get enough credit for dropping truth bombs about race, gender, sex and status. There have been some preachy articles about Olivia Pope and Annalise’ Keating’s love lives, but Miss Shonda has deep thoughts. You see it in scenes like Annalise giving Asher some straight talk about his poor-little-rich frat-boy worldview.
Crane sits on the couch in front of the TV with salty snacks and sugary carbonated beverages. He is now an American.
